7 Essential Affordable Care Act Tips for Dentists

The Affordable Care Act, also known as the ACA or Obamacare, represents one of the biggest changes to health insurance for both employers and employees. And, while the major provisions are now fully in effect, many owners and HR professionals still feel unsure about how the law impacts their business, their employees, and their family.

Last week, we wrote an article featured on DentistryIQ outlining 7 tips for dentists - and all small employers - to understand how the ACA impacts small dental practices.

3. When purchasing individual health insurance, most employees are eligible for significant discounts on health insurance, called premium tax credits.

4. Individual health insurance has new advantages. For example, individuals cannot be turned away or charged more because of a pre-existing medical condition, and all health insurance plans cover essential health benefits.

7. Because of the new advantages of individual health insurance, many small dental practices are transitioning employees to individual health insurance and providing a contribution through a premium reimbursement program.

The article can be accessed via DentistryIQ’s website and is a helpful resource for Dentists to get a handle on Affordable Care Act requirements and opportunities.
